I'm really not sure that teaching people to ignore apt warnings is the best way to tell them that they need to upgrade. IMO this is mixing two topics, in a bad way. At least I would have appreciated if the signing key would have been valid a bit longer, maybe 2-4 weeks, so people have some more time to safely do upgrades. For announcing that people should upgrade we do have several channels, be it mailinglists or our bits of Debian news blog as well as www.debian.org. Also, we moved the suite from ftp.d.o to archive.d.o, so people do need to change their sources.list… this alone should also make it clear enough that squeeze is, well, archived. Maybe something to reconsider for when wheezy will be archived… -- cheers, Holger
